How do you take the manual shift knob off a 2001 Saturn SC2 to replace it because twisting is not working?

I asked the dealer this same question and the answer is, it doesn't come off. The only way to replace the knob is cutting it off. Actually, to remove the shifter knob on a 2001 Saturn SC2, all you have to do is pull it straight off the shaft. It does not twist or turn. Just pull it straight off. No need to cut it. You shouldn't even need any tools.

What does it mean when the airbag light comes on in a Ford Explorer Sport?

There is a problem with the SRS. Not a DIY repair. Get this fixed immediately. Air bag could deploy at any time, or not at all. The previous poster was right, fix or have it fix'd asap. the air bags could deploy when not expected or not deploy when needed. on late 90's models there are 3 air bag sensors. 2 in the bumper and 1 at the air bag. usually the flashing light when you turn on your vehicle is flashing a certain number of times providing a code that should tell you what sensor is failed or failing. they usually fail due to a short to power or ground. I have not yet found the code sheet to be able to tell which code is what, but believe the sensor in the sirbag is a dealer repair only. the ones in the bumper are easy enough to replace on your own. It means there is a problem with the SRS. Take it to a professional. Working on the SRS is not a DIY job. Serious injury can occur.

Your fuel pump to your 1996 ford explore is not getting power what do you do?

How do you get the check engine light in your car to go off?

The ECM has self-diagnostic capability and constantly tests operation of sensors and other components. When any of the sensor signals is missing or out of normal range, the ECM sets a fault and illuminates the "Check Engine" or "Service Engine Soon" light also called MIL (Malfunction Indication Light) storing the corresponding Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in the ECM memory. The same will happen if a mechanical component of controlled system fails. For example, if the EGR valve fails, this will also cause the "check engine" light to come on. Even a loose gas cap will cause the "check engine" to come on.The stored trouble code can be retrieved with the special scan tool by the technician. The code itself does not tell exactly which part to replace, it only gives a direction where to look for - the technician has to perform certain tests specific for each code to find the exact cause of the problem. Once the problem is corrected the check engine light can be turned off by the technician. If you reset the light and do not repair the problem the light will just come back on.

AnswerYou can buy a scantool at Walmart and turn the "check engine" light off yourself. Presuming that you repaired the malfunctioning part/s. I had my check engine light on for some time and I was very reluctant to take it to the mechanics. I decided to by an OBD 2 scantool from Walmart ($70) and used it to troubleshoot my 2000 Explorer XLT before sending it to the town mechanics(God knows that they will give you all types of BS). Anyway, it gave me a code, I looked it up with the book that came with it and found it was something wrong with my vacuum pressure. I then bought a Chiltons book and found out what causes the problem. All I had to do was check for a loose air hose connection or joint. Im not a mechanic but I found all the hoses(that mattered) and one of them was just a little bit loose. I tightened it, plugged the OBD2 scantool back in, erased the check engine light and it hasn't come back since. If I didnt fix it before I erased it, the light would have come back on after a little while of driving it. Oh, and since I had no use for the scantool anymore, I returned it to Walmart the next week for a full refund! AnswerAll I usually do is unhook the battery for 5 or 10 minutes and the light will go off. If there's really no problem, it should stay off. Otherwise, you should go to a place like AutoZone to see what code(s) it's throwing (for free). When we get ours emissions tested, they won't do it with the 'check engine' light on, so we have to unhook the battery before we leave home. The light usually stays off long enough to get it tested, and it has passed each time we got it tested.

Why is it when you push slow on the accelerator on your 98 or 99 ford explorer it goes but if you mash the exelarator it boggs down or dies if in idle it sometimes dies?

This could be a number of things.Sounds like a fuel problem, start out with the simplest and cheapest. Check Air filter.Check for Vacuum leaks ,Fuel filter may be blocked and not getting enough fuel to the injectors. Next check fuel pressure , you may have a bad fuel pump. Its in the tank. These are the most common places to start Good luck

How do you replace the rear sway bar links on a 2003 GMC Envoy?

You have to have an Allen wrench to hold the ball joint straight while turning the nut with a wrench. Once you get it loose a bit, then you can hold the ball joint still with a set of vise grips and remove the nut the rest of the way. It is good to let it soak with some penetrant oil first. Buy after market style links and they have a place for a wench on the ball joint so it is easier to hold than the stock type. Moog is a good replacement part.

Have a 88 13b non turbo rx7 and it idles poorly most of the time it shuts of you have to keep your foot in the gas gently for it to stay on what could be causing this?

== == I had the same problem with my RX. It ended up being something simple. I was installing my new intake when I decided it would be good to take off the MAF (Mass Airflow sensor) so I could bolt the intake to it easier I ended up Messing up the harness and when I started it. It idled poorly then shut off. Basically I went to the junkyard and got the whole MAF because its almost impossible to take the electronics out. The thing cost me about 45 to 50 bucks in the junkyard. I suggest you do the same. Its easy and relatively straightforward to install and my cars been running great since.
